Implements the ideas from #217

  • Adds an explicit_only config option (default: true) to filter out dependency packages
  • Adds outdated package detection for both official repos and AUR, respecting explicit_only
  • Adds action to update outdated packages

wouldn't one want a periodic check for the outdated packages?

Yes, I thought about it. The same problem exists when installing/uninstalling packages — the cache becomes stale. I'm not sure how to handle this other than a periodic refresh every X minutes, which feels a bit overkill, but I'm not sure.

@abenz1267 abenz1267 force-pushed the dev branch 5 times, most recently from 0f3deb7 to af23334 Compare March 30, 2026 07:45
